Ohio University’s new analytical chemist, Dr. Anthony Stender, plans to study novel approaches to forensic chemistry analysis by going small, really small. “Usually when people think of forensic science, they focus on evidence that’s large enough to be held in their hand or perceived with the unaided eye. But oftentimes, […]

Dr. Edmond Y. Chang, Assistant Professor of English at Ohio University, published essays in two recent books. An essay on “A Game Chooses, A Player Obeys: BioShock, Posthumanism, and the Limits of Queerness” was published in Gaming Representation: Race, Gender, and Sexuality in Video Games.  Published by Indiana University Press […]

“Scientists recreate the nuclear fusion reactions found inside stars: Powerful lasers are used to create the high temperatures and pressures found inside stars 40 times more massive than the Sun,” reports Sky News about research co-authored by Dr. Carl Brune, Professor of Physics & Astronomy at Ohio University. Scientists have, […]

“Stars are giant thermonuclear plasma furnaces that slowly fuse the lighter elements in the universe into heavier elements, releasing energy, and generating the pressure required to prevent collapse. To understand stars, we must rely on nuclear reaction rate data obtained, up to now, under conditions very different from those of […]
